Summary

One in this series of informative patriotic dramas about
aviation featuring Orson Welles and sponsored by the
makers of Lockheed and Vega aircraft. In this drama,
the FBI arrests a German spy who has posed as a Vega
war worker in order to broadcast to Germany from the
plant using a concealed microphone. Welles then takes
the microphone to give German listeners (and American
eavesdroppers) a tour of the Vega plant that focuses on
the people who work there. Welles stresses that 75% are
women; that people of different ages, races, and
backgrounds work side by side; that certain important
jobs are done by midgets and by the blind; and that this
diversity would be unacceptable in the Axis countries.
